- Cody M.
"The first thing Mr. Wilkie will tell you is that “no one will out-work me”. That is an understatement. He took my case on short notice, and after three years of dealing with the prospect of life-altering charges, he presented an effective case that showed the jury the facts, despite the best efforts of the state to paint me in a negative light.
Mr. Wilkie literally saved my family, and I cannot express how thankful I am to have trusted him."

"From the moment Miss Kim and Mr. Wilke met my son, I knew they were exactly who we needed to take his case! Thank you both. You have no idea of the comfort you gave our family, knowing that you were right in the trenches with him."- Erica B.

- Olivia C.
"Mr. Wilkie is an outstanding lawyer. I was facing a DWI charge, and with his help, I was found not guilty. If you trust the process and Mr. Wilkie there’s no doubt that he wouldn’t fight for you in that courtroom.
Now I can continue on with my Career in the Marines with no setback. Forever grateful."

"Attorney Wilkie and his staff are awesome. Mr. WILKIE didn't charge me an outrageous fee and was straight up front about my case without getting it continuously postponed.

Our office recognizes the combined stress of monetary burdens that coincide with the concerns and uncertainty of the court actions. Our representation fees are determined by the type and complexity of your case. Our office will consult with you to assess the pending charges and the anticipated outcome of your case, dismissal or plea versus trial. Our firm utilizes a flat fee with detailed billing information which will be listed in the representation agreement and fully discussed prior to hiring. We also offer payment plans and multiple means of payment for your convenience.
If the state or U.S. Government is coming at you, trying to take away your liberty, money, career, reputation – that is worth quite a bit. And an unfavorable outcome could result in loss of a job, retirement, healthcare, possible GI Bill, etc., all of which if added up is worth a considerable amount of money. And while outcomes cannot be guaranteed – you only get one opportunity to deal with the problem, why not do it with the help of a paid professional. In hiring The Wilkie Law Group, you are paying for tailored strategy, control of the courtroom, advanced negotiation skills, experience and commitment to achieve the best possible outcome.

When you become aware of being under investigation or merely approached by authorities wishing to interview or speak with you about a matter, call our office for advice. Don’t make any statements to law enforcement or anyone, including friends and social media. We can help you determine the severity of the issue and whether it serves your interests to cooperate versus maintain your silence. In many cases it is not in your legal interests to speak with those investigating you – even if you are innocent and just want to “clear things up.” Either way an immediate decision after consultation and advice from a qualified attorney on how best to protect your rights is critical.

With over 20 years of legal and military experience Aden Wilkie will apply his knowledge and expertise to defend your legal rights. Regardless of whether you’re accused of a relatively minor offense or a serious felony, a conviction could land you in jail, cost a great deal of time and money, leave you with a permanent criminal record and ruin your reputation.
Your defense is our highest priority. The Wilkie Law Group has no competing interests or fear of “rocking the boat” to interfere with zealously defending your rights. The prosecution will treat your case differently when they know you have retained an aggressive, experienced attorney with a winning record who isn’t afraid of the courtroom.
The Wilkie Law Group provides you with a seasoned, realistic evaluation of the short and long-term legal consequences of your case. We listen to your concerns and can help guide you every step of the way.

First, do not panic being accused of something is a long way from being convicted of a crime. However, in today’s world it can be difficult when being accused in some people’s minds equals guilt. But you enjoy a presumption of innocence that is absolute and something that you should never forget. Unfortunately, people have been known to wrongfully accuse people of many types of crimes even something as serious as rape. So, just because someone said you did it does not make it so.
Second, stop talking to anyone other than your lawyer about the case or allegations. Any attorney you hire has confidential relationship with you and the things you discuss together are protected by the attorney-client privilege. The same cannot be said for your conversations, with your parents, significant other and social media. If you are military, you also need to monitor your conversations with barracks buddies and especially the chain of command.
Third, stay far away from the party who made the claim against you. Be polite and professional, just do not talk to them, be alone, or communicate with them in any way.
Finally, call our office immediately, so we can begin to defend you from the allegations and advise you through the process.

Convictions for North Carolina DWI cases can lead to license suspension, fines, jail time, and long-term damage to your record, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our law firm provides aggressive DWI defense strategies to protect your freedom and driving privileges.
Because of Aden Wilkie’s knowledge of how sobriety tests should be administered, if the officer made a mistake or skipped a step, Aden can spot it and use it to fight the prosecution’s case. These errors may impact the prosecution’s evidence and can be the difference between a DWI conviction and a case being dismissed or found not guilty.
Whether this is your first offense or you have a prior DWI on your record, having an experienced DWI defense lawyer from the beginning is key to a successful case outcome.
